Title: Hello all, my project!
Post by: SurferSteve on May 10, 2009, 03:29:34 AM
Hi all

A found this website while searching for Beach Boys on Word Press - I think and hope it (you) will be the answer to the many questions I will have along the way! Basically, I have always liked The Beach Boys but really only listened to their hits on 'Best of' albums. So, I have decided that I want to listen to more of their work and have thus started what I have dubbed 'The Beach Boys Discography Project'. Rather predicatbly, this entails me buying and listening to all the Beach Boys albums (and solo albums later) in chronological order. I am writing my thoughts in a blog as I go but there are only 2 posts so far and there isn't much to read! So, that's what brought me here, now about me..

I'm 34 years old, married and with a little boy who had his first birthday this Wednesday just gone. I live in Hitchin, Hertfordshire in England and work as an sCommerce Manager. I have a varied music taste with a bias towards 80s hair rock (Bon Jovi, Poison, Aerosmith, Whitesnake, Guns 'N Roses etc.) and have been trying to learn the guitar for a couple of years. Outside of music my main interests are Formula 1, (Comic) Books and Disney.

That's all for now, I'll back to pick your collective brains very soon :)

Steve

Ahh a fellow Disney fan! There is plenty of information on this board as it is, for your project you should look at the Album review/discussions board. We have also posted a Vocal credits post in the main forum that may help answer some of your questions. Good luck!

Thanks for the welcome.

I'm 4 albums into my project and so far I'm loving it - the progression is obvious, as is the self-indulgence of some of the tracks!

Self-indulgence? If you're talking about the insrumental tracks or "comedy" tracks, those were just meant to be filler.

Once you hit Smiley Smile, the "progression" will take a sharp left turn!  :lol :lol :smokin :hat
